Arts Of Mars

Historical European Martial Arts Academy

Medieval Sword Fighting and more

The name Arts of Mars originates from reference to the Roman God of war, Mars, and so calls to mind all the skills and knowledge needed for war. The first specific mention in period literature was made in a book by the Duke of Newcastle from England in 1639, where he suggested that "All Gentlemen should learn the Arts of Mars".
